TUNIS, Tunisia — The leader of a Tunisian Islamist party that was long outlawed by authorities returned on Sunday to his homeland after two decades in exile.

About 1,000 people crowded into the Tunis airport to welcome Rachid Ghanouchi, leader of the Ennahdha, or Renaissance, party.

His return from London follows the ouster of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who was forced from power by violent protests this month after 23 years in power. Ennahdha was branded an Islamic terrorist group by Ben Ali but is considered moderate by scholars.
